[ PROFANITY ON THE FORUM ] - official discussion

[Quass]

I don't know who this "meheheh" guy is... but saying stuff like this:

"blah, blah, blah...i'm so cool. i'm so intimdating. let me validate my existence by demeaning you on the internet."

Just makes me love the guy already.. lol.. awesome signature.

Now on to the topic at hand.. Profanity..
Okay.. I know our forum (Senshukentaikai.com) has the filters.. and from what I can see now.. some of you dissaprove.
But we have some simple reasons for this.
<ul>[*]You do not need to cuss to get your point across.[*]There ARE people under the age of 12 that play this game.. and they don't need to be subjected to that.[*]In order for a website to fulfill an air of professionality, swearing should not be permitted.
ie. if you go to your job, and start swearing at everyone, you'll get fired. simple.[*]I am using my site to go on my resume, and it doesn't bode well for potential employers to read and look at a page full of experlatives... [/list]So there you go, love em or hate em.. thats what I stand by, I know people who do nothing but swear every second word... and you know what is/and has become of those people?

Well, the ones who did it in High School, now work crappy part time jobs, and most of them are potheads, and the ones who do it NOW, well.. they just don't command that much respect from their peers..

You may not agree with me, and by no means are my examples aimed at everyone, so don't start flaming me.

And with that.. I've said my piece.

I got it the filter can be like on Cop's

Shut The *Bleep*up. I *Bleep'd* your mom

I think you get what i mean :biggrin:

[Zing79]

this can all be summed up rather nicely.

This is all TMy's work, and as much as you'd all like to think he's just wasting his time for you, this game does serve a purpose (and it ties nicely into what Quass said).

This is a great thing to put on a resume, to show off.
BUT...
thats only if it looks like he's running a profesional looking tight ship.

I hate being told what to say more then the next guy, but this game is not a right that you have, its a privilege.

To say this is a "free country" or that you have a right to "free speech" (see Token for your best example), is completely bogus, and isn't going to fly here.

There are rules put in place by those who run the establishment. They are put there to make things fun for EVERYONE, not just a select few.

As is with this, the easiest thing to do is simply tell you to stop swearing as opposed to forcing ppl to put up with your missuse of the english language.

And if you think we are being mean to you, just take a look at the forum rules (conveniently posted for all, yet so few of you seem to know them). It won't take you long to notice that we let you guys get away with ALOT of nonsense.

It was only a few days ago, that I put a post up telling you guys to stop ripping at n00bs, and this ties rather nicely into it, seeying as how swearing plays a large role in that.

Swearing is NOT part of everyday life, no matter who tells you that. It is NOT an accepted form of communication in the real world either.

To anyone who thinks otherwise, it is YOU who must come to terms with the fact that having an intelligent conversation without swearing is the ONLY real way to express yourself in life.

And if you take only one thing out of this entire post I just made, its that this little corner of the world is run without question by TMyApp. If a rule is put in place do not attempt to curve it or abuse it to your own ends;
Abide by it, and follow it as if it were law, because to those in charge, that's EXACTLY what it is.

Dang you people put this on your resume?? I guess there is a higher plan to everything. Well then if you put it that way Zing, Quass, and TMyApp add the filter.

and just who are we to decide what is ok to subject 12 year olds to?

[Nantuko Joe]

That is also true, KKS. After all, what kid hasen't (sp) heard his dad start swearing at the TV during football season? What kid hasen't heard his dad start swearing at some ####### that cut him off on the road? What kid hasen't heard someone start swearing when they broke their arm? Swearing is part of everyday life, and saying stuff like "I can deal with it, because I can use a filter and start banning people" is pretty immature.

I say that if a person, under the age of 12 or not, can't handle seeing the word "f*ck" on a computer screen when they probably hear it a hundred times a day at home, school, and with friends, then they are also too immature to play a fighting game.

####, I switched sides. Put in the filter. If they put this Project on their Resumes who are we to tell them what to do. I want the best for people in life (Hard to believe) and if I interfer with their work life in any way I think it is wrong. Put in the filter, do what ever you feel like TMyApp.

and those 2 sentences sum up how bad this world is getting.

KKS..
we (the adults of this game) have a responsibility to ensure that ppl aren't being exposed to things they don't need to be exposed to.

Nantuko Joe..
just because someone shoots someone in the head everyday and a kid knows and hears about it doesn't mean we should expose them to it.
just because every few minutes a women is rapped and a kid knows and hears about it doesn't mean we should expose them to it.

you see the point?...there are LOTS of things kids are exposed to everyday which they shouldn't be.

and saying swearing is part of everyday life is spoken like a true and immature child.

by your logic a worker should be able to tell customers, "heres your fuc**ng order, now enjoy it you m**herf*cker...

THAT is NOT acceptable.

Not in real life and most definately not in here.

lol, I ask the question again, who are we to say what ppl should and shouldn't not be exposed to.

Zing79 - because those of us in power say so :biggrin:.
Simple as that.
